Barclays Bank
Reviews and Complaints

August 2008 i was apparently sent a letter from barclays that was offering me a reserve tank of £150 pounds, This letter was not an offer though, It was a letter telling me that i have been signed up for this? How ever Barclays also said that if i was not interested then i should send back this letter, I did not recieve this letter! I got this information from a lady at Barclays when i contacted them recently.

Earlier on in the year 2008 i phoned barclays and asked for a extension on my overdraft witch was declined. So once my bank started to let me take an extra £150 pounds out i thought my overdraft had gone through. How ever not to my knowledge this was infact a reserve tank witch every time i went in to this i was charged £30.

So Every week from august 2008 i have been bieng charged £30 a week with out actually noticing this until the end of april when barclays have decided to actually take the payments on a monthly basis all in one lump sum!

How can a company as big as barclays mislead there customers in such a way? I had no idea what they had signed me up for as this was not visible? They did not offer it to me they just signed me up for this?

This is to bring to your notice that what is happening in the collection department of the Barclays Bank,

I was holdong a Credit Card from Barclays Bank due to problems i was not able to pay monthly installemnts In between a lady called me and she said she is from Barclays Bank and she can help in settling the card her name is Miss Mala later on i came to know that she is not from Barclays Bank and she is from some Bilkeesh Agency and she spoke to bank and give me a settlemnt amount of 2700 AED, to re-confirm i went to Barclays Branch Maktoum Street Ground floor there i spoke to the Executive Mr. Dominic and his Team Leadr Mr. Khalid after that i arranged the money and As Mr. Dominic Told me i put the money in Cash deposit machine and after that i have been told that i will be given settlement after two days only, as i was dealing with the bank so i said o.k, after two days the bank refused to give me settlement letter and start demanding more money, i didn't understand what is happening, i spoke to Mr. Dominic, Mr. Khalid they all know full and final settlemnt is done however they are stating that i have to go the agency and speak to that lady and when i tried to speak to that Mr. Ramesh Negi who is the team leader there is abusing me and saying do whatever i want i will not give you a settlemnt letter

I had probelms using my barclaycard to pay for life changes I was making in January and which resulted in the need to make a number of 0845 and 0870 numbered calls to resolve it.

Barclaycard accused both the branch financial advisor and myself of lying when we confronted them with fact they were distorting the truth to wriggle out of the problem/s they had caused me. An internal complaint was raised and £35.00 compensation offered for the distress caused which has yet to materialise.

Further ongoing problems have arisen with Barclaycard which I have raised with them in writing and they keep fobbing me off.

Barclaycard should admit they have behaved badly and compensate me for the distress they caused me which affected several other area's of my life and affected my health.

I am not sure if this is a scam or not

I have applied for an online banking pin code for approx 1 year with 4 codes being sent out from the UK to Lebanon, with none arriving.
Each time I called back to check and it was confirmed they have been sent.
14th October I applied again and by 21st Oct still no post from Barclays.
21st Oct spoke to manager Emma Reynolds who told me she could do nothing to help and maybe my brother in law could take an extension on his credit card to cover my banking problems!
23rd Oct I called custom relation manager, Joanne Grieves, from the complaints dept, who also said she could not help me. After a 10 min argument she asked if she should come to Lebanon herself to deliver my pin number!

To have management level use sarcasm and be totally unprofessional seems to be a common trait for Barclays Bank PLC customer relations dept. You should be disgraced to speak to a client in such a way and to offer no help or result with a true banking problem.

DO NOT BANK WITH BARCLAYS PLC

i have been trying for a month now to close my account with Barclays in the isle of Man and to transfer my funds to a different bank.
i keep on receiving this type of message: "I have been looking into this request for you, and have escalated this as an urgent case as I do not know why the payment is being held up"
And this type of message comes from a Premier Relationship Executive
Dealing with Barclays is like dealing with a ghost. You never get a straight answer and as french citizen living in Africa, i feel like i am trated as a fool.
They are happy to get the money of course but that's about all.
i really do not kbnow what to do anymore to get my fund out of this bank.
If someone has an idea on what to do or who to contact please let me know, as i urgently need this money

About 17/12/2008 I requested online to transfer £200 from my personal account (balance £7000+) to a joint account at the same bank to take place on 31/12/2008, specifically because I knew that a direct debit for Council tax was due on 2/01/2009. The confirmation screen was correct. Early in January 2009 I received a letter informing me that the joint account was overdrawn and the account was debitted with a £22 charge. I complained in writing and received a reply that their records showed that I had requested the transfer to take place on 5/1/2009. I complained by telephone on 10/2/2009 and was advised that the case would be re-opened and I would be informed of the outcome within 5 days. So far I have not received a response.

Below is the content of an email sent to Barclays bank Customer care, I felt it needed to be published for people to be aware of how degraded the service in this bank has become...

I am writing today to submit an official complaint against a collections officer currently working within your bank due his latest behavior, that made it really intolerable and unacceptable in every way, due to reasons out of my control I had little to no access to my Mobile as it remains off or away due to the nature of my current employment as I currently work in media and the use of mobiles when on set or in production places is prohibited. That person called to follow up on a credit card payment done last week and wasn’t reflected – again due to issues out of my control.

I tolerated his insolence earlier in the month when he called to remind me of the payment that I forgot earlier becasuse was at fault by missing my payment, I swallowed my Pride and explained the reasons to that person and promised to pay ontime next time..

However what happened yesterday was so horrible that I DO NOT want this issue to be dismissed and disregarded and I would like to make sure its escalated to the people would ACT on it and not just pat him on the back and ignore the issue as this would be a serious indication of how bad this bank is becoming.

It started with him calling a contact that was given to the bank as a reference where he asked him to convey the message that the bank have been trying to contact me to check on payment states and that HE is doing it as a favor to ME and that I should call him back or ELSE! The contact was surprised by his attitude and aggressiveness and toned him down and told him that he will try to contact me to let me know of that person’s THREAT! Where later on the contact sent me an email (sometimes it’s the only way to contact me where I work) and informed me of the incident where his comment was – I never knew you got a credit card from a bank that hired THUGS!

Anyways, I called the bank using the number that called my contact, and there he was, and in addition to the way he acted with my colleague he did the following:

1- FIRST:
• I called introduced myself and asked what was the issue that called for calling my colleague, and I said am I speaking to “AXXX” the person who called my colleague?
• He said (in Arabic) YES this is AXXXX, OH So finally here you are! I guess it was the only way to get you out of your hiding!,
• I was really taken back and asked him for clarification, I told him that due to my work I don’t get calls and my phone is turned off most of the time
• he said, OH REALLY? What kind of job do you do now and where is it again? Can you tell me?! in a sarcastic tone!
• And then he said HOW COULD YOU CHANGE jobs and not update your bank first!
• He was literally shouting!
• I told him do I have to take permission from your bank to change jobs!?!
• He said of course!
2- SECOND:
• He said again in his loud tone (in Arabic) DO U know that you are listed as an ESCAPEE and that you will be hunted by the police for missing your payment?!,
• Again I couldn’t believe my ears and asked him for clarification as I have done all previous payments..and I do know clearly that I have done the payment when I was reminded earlier and it was done through UAE exchange as he advised the first time however after his call to my colleague I called UAE exchange in Gold and Diamond Souk to tell them that I need a copy of the receipt, they said that they have been trying to contact me during the weekend to tell me that the payment didn’t go through..
• I tried to tell him that where he kept interrupting me and saying (in Arabic again and in loud tone) Do you KNOW that you your last payment was on the 14th last month!?
• Again I said would you please let me finish,
• he said I DON’T CARE about your excuses! All I know is that you didn’t pay!
• So I told him well you either wait for me to get done from work, collect my money from UAE exchange and pay it again or he could take other credit card details and deduct the amount from there
• He said FROM where (YA OSTAZA) your credit card won’t take it!
• I told him I have another credit card issued from another bank
• He said laughing SO you are telling me that other banks do give YOU credit cards?!
3- THIRD
• I had to leave in the middle of a task and go to Abu Dhabi Mall to find a UAE exchange to pay the amount due, where they told me that they can only withdraw a specific amount so I called back and told him that I was advised that I should contact ALANSARI instead.
• He shouts again (in Arabic) this is rubbish go back and let them talk to me!
• I went to another branch to get things sorted as I left my job in the middle of a deadline delivery and completed the payment
• He called and said (in Arabic) SO.. tell me did you do the payment or?!
• I said I DID shall I give you the ref..and I did
• He said (in Arabic).. OH NOW I FEEL BETTER you actually did the payment finally!
4- FOURTH
• I said, now you have received your payment.. can I speak to your manager?
• Where he forwarded the call to a person called Mxxxxxx who introduced himself as the supervisor
• I was telling him of his employee attitude where to find later that person’s name is not AXXXXX it was YXXXX!
• And the manager’s only excuse was that “Yxxxx” was Egyptian and that this is how they speak!
• I was shocked! And just ended the conversation as I really couldn’t believe that what used to be a respectable bank hires liars and thugs now!

This email might be disregarded and added to the pile of complaints you receive for sure if that is the conduct and attitude of your service team but I am sending this in hopes that there are still some decent people left in a bank full of Axxxxs and Yxxxxx…

Received this email. I wish to enquire if this is a scam.
Can anyone help?

Dear Sir/Madam;
I am a personal loan customer of Barclays bank in India.

I am personally working for a MNC, which is willing to help me pay off the personal loan disbursed to by Barclays Bank at 18% per-annum. Which itself is very high. The tenure is 7 years. I have paid the interest for almost 2 years now. There is a marginal decrease in the amount.

Now that I am being helped by another organization for closure of this loan at a very low rate of interest I requested Barclays Phone banking executives to mail me the outstanding letter. They clearly denied me to provide any correspondences. Then I had sent a couple of E-mails to one of their senior executives in India, there has been no replies. I had send couple of e-mails to their customer issue cell in UK, still no reply.

Barclays hardly has few offices in India, it is difficult to trace one. Even if you do the officials ask you to contact through the phone banking executives, who continue to give the same answers.

This rate of interest is really affecting my personal life. I sincerely want to pay back the amount to Barclays, but can someone tell me how?. I have now been contacting Barclays for last 2 months for a silly letter or email which will state what is my outstanding as of this month.

The banks in India give you this statement on hand anytime you contact them. Everymonth a statement is mailed to your address. Barclays does not do any of these.

Please help. I feel this was the biggest mistake of my life, their phone executives are really rude on the phone.

Regards,
Chidambaram.

we are still waiting on you to tell us if the text winnings are true .some one sent us a e-mail back and claim they are you the complains board and give us this reciever sahley vaughn from so called barclays bank plc 175 high street stourbridge west midlands dy98le but this is not a real bank please help us to get a result.it looks for us that some one in your company are helping the people that scam every one

Barclays Bank slaimmed me into its paperless billing program and when I got a $79.99 bogus charge on my account that had a zero balance credit card it when went out over 90 days with late fees and jack up interist charges they said I owed them $210.00 They Slammed me into there paperless billing which I never signed up for and so when I didn't get a hard copy statement of my acct they didn't get paid... I only noticed it as they reported me as late pay to my credit report and I didn't owe then anything. I tried serveral time to resolve any issue though it CSR reps and they will lie to you saying they will get things resolve your problems and they will drop you like a hot rock. The CSR are not interisted in helping its customers and they will just add to your problems with Barclays Bank. I reported them the the BBB and got my acct resolved when I got a call from Eizabeth Chistopher with Juniper Bank at [protected]. They also jacked up my interist rates so I will be closing my account with them as they all ready cost me over 50 points of my credit rating score and I'm sure that will go down again when I close that accountbut WHO CAN AFFORD TO KEEP DOING BUSINESS Barclays bank any longer. They are a bunch of ripp offs

After getting extremely annoyed with incompetent Barclays telephone banking support staff in India re the unauthorised charges for a cash withdrawal, I decided to go into my local branch in Clacton-on-Sea, I explained to the nice chap at the reception desk what the problem was, excessive charges and how I'd wasted an hour on the phone to idiots in India who weren't able to help at all.

He was very supportive, tapping away on his computer, closing the account for me and taking all my details, including chequebooks, cards, PIN sentry and taking the account information to transfer the money into etc. I left the Clacton-on-sea Barclays bank feeling satisfied that you have to sort things out in person.

I was totally wrong to trust them. Two weeks later, nothing, no money transferred. Regretfully I pick up the phone and call them, the usual [censored] from the indian call centre, and suprisingly, the account is still active, which proves yet again a bank hasn't followed through on the instructions I gave them. I've had similar problems in the past with counter staff not bothering to process a change of address TWICE - so nothing suprises me know about their levels of incompetance.

To make matters worse, the support staff member says she can't see the "closing account" team's information on the account, so she can't tell wether its been closed or not without calling them, what kind of a dumb IT CRM system does Barclays use if they can't even look up the "status" of the account. So I'm put on hold while she tries to call the other department - she comes back to me saying nobody is picking up her call.

She's going to call me back... hmmm lets see its 14:40 when I finished the call... lets see what happens.

So yet again the bank gets to keep my cash for yet more time, and of course they'll send me a cheque, and again they keep it for even longer while that gets processed.

Its about time a new bank came along and introduced proper customer service and a decent customer orientated approach and kicked this lot into the 21st Century - they seem to think they can just get away with incompetance.

L.L. Bean has a guarantee that "if you are unhappy with anything at any time" they will make it right.
Barclays Bank called my home as many as 15 times over a week period claiming that I had not paid a monthly credit card bill that I always kept paid in full. I had mailed the check on the 17th of the month and SURPRISE it was found on the 23rd. My local bank advised against stopping payment and reissuing another bank money order to replace a "lost" one for a few more days because they thought Barclays were a bit impatient. They were right.
Now, L.L. Bean refuses to allow free shipping by paying any other method than using the Barclays card, including paying by cash.
When did we stop recognizing cash as our nation's primary tender?
This Maine native is not happy with L.L.Bean and wonders why after MBNA and at least one other credit card company had no issues, now all of a sudden Barclays is being so harrassing in their dealings with customers. By the way, after Barclays "found" the check, there was no apology whatsoever.

I got a mail from baclays bank, uk dat u are the lucky winner of 2009 yahoo/microsoft lottery award approved by government of uk. They told me about winning money of 250000 gbp..
But before getting the money they are asking for processing fees of 350 gbp to transfer money through online banking.
It may be fraud...

Don't bother with Barclays, Delaware. Submitted application for a visa card. 10 days later wrote back requesting for proof of citizenship. What? I'm only applying for a $2000 loan not $200, 000. So I mailed them back copy of my passport more than a week ago but still didn't hear from them. They told me today it may take another 10 days for them to look at the application. WTF.

I have credit cards with chase, citibank, hsbc, bank of america, amex - never have problems getting one from them. In fact I got a mortgage pre-approved within 30 minutes few days ago from Merrill Lynch/BA - no hassle. I told barclays people off on the phone today and swear I'll never apply another card with them nor would I recommend this incompetent bank to anyone. Save yourself from unnecessary hassle and frustrations. Skip barclays and just go with other banks.

Since US Airways changed their credit card affiliation from Bank of America to Barclays I have encountered nothing but problems. First, I did not receive the first bill from Barclays in the mail. I found out I had interest fees and late charges when I went on their new website. I called Barclays and thought I was calling someone in outer space. The person could not understand English. My closing date was on the fifth of the month and I still hadn't received my bill as of the 26th of the month. I was informed that Barclays had 13 days to send out the bill after the closing date. This does not give their customer time to receive and pay their bill even if they received their bill. I paid my bill in full via telephone. I then went on-line to sign up for automatic payments. The website would not let me do this because I had paid via telephone that day. I called Barclays again and the agent told me he would have to cancel the payment and then I would be able to set up automatic payments. I did so, choosing my unique picture for security, etc. I thought my problems were solved (I had automatic payments with BOA and never had a problem). The agent told me everything had gone through and I was set up for automatic payments. Problem solved! NO! I received my bill and was shocked to find that I had late fee charges and interest. I called Barclays and they informed me I had not signed up for automatic payments and that I had cancelled a telephone payment. I tried to explain to them that their agent had cancelled the payment because their website did not permit you to sign up for automatic payments when a telephone payment was in progress. After 7 phone calls I thought my problem was solved. I paid the entire amount of my credit card in full minus the late fees and interest charges. Last week I tried to use my credit card and Barclays shut down my account. Also, I received a letter from Barclays a couple of days ago informing me that if I didn't want their credit card any longer I could cancel it but would lose all of my frequent flyer miles (135, 000). This is a disgrace.
